Report: Colts to host TE Eric Ebron on free agent visit

The Indianapolis Colts already have a Pro Bowl tight end on the roster but that won’t stop them from potentially adding to the position as they will reportedly host free agent tight end Eric Ebron on a visit this weekend, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

With Jack Doyle holding down the position, adding a tight end isn’t the biggest need but there is little depth behind him and on Sunday, the Colts will reportedly bring in Ebron.

Scheduled travel itinerary for former Lions’ TE Eric Ebron: Carolina on Friday, Indianapolis on Sunday, followed potentially by New England, per source.

Ebron has puzzled the league since he arrived as the No. 10 overall pick from the 2014 NFL Draft hasn’t quite lived up to the billing, dealing with injuries and somewhat lowly production for a first-round pick.

The Detroit Lions released Ebron after four seasons, declining to pick up his fifth-year option, which put the 24-year-old on the market.

Ebron is coming off a 2017 season in which he played a full 16 games for the first time in his career. He recorded 53 receptions for 574 receiving yards and four touchdowns.

Behind Doyle on the roster at tight end, the Colts have very little experience in Travis Ross, Mo Alie-Cox and Darrell Daniels.

It will be interesting to see what Ebron will be commanding in the market but as its already been made known, the Colts will not overpay for any free agent.

Regardless, this could be a situation to keep an eye on over the weekend.
